I'm sorry Marc. Not for me, not today.
Well .. on a day like this ..
I get the feeling, that
either I let a lot of steam ..
Or I'll pull the walls down,
right on top of me.
And a new Samson was hailed in the land.
But where, oh were, was Delilah?
By this time not too young,
and probably. Very fat.
Thank you.
I don't think about her any more.
Oh, I do. Oh ..
Well, let's hear more.
Smile if you want to.
You know that still haunts me.
How old was she?
Not quite eighteen.
Well, she's forgotten it by now.
I hope so.
And yet I don't .. isn't that strange?
No, perfectly normal. Marc.
I'm tired of fighting devils real and
imaginary. I'd like to go home.
I mean the house where I came from.
The street where I used to play as a kid.
I'd like to be part of a real family again.
Well, you talk of leaving,
but what is it you're leaving?
You know, once a Priest, always a Priest.
I don't know, Marc.
All I know is I've got to stop somewhere.
I have to get away from this house.
I'll be regular about it. I'll write to
Father Provincial asking for my release.
But I'm not going to sit around waiting
for an answer. I'm leaving now. Tonight.
You know, Marc, it's pretty lonely
being a Soldier Of God all the time.
You too, Tom?
Yes, I'm like John.
I want a furlough. A long, long furlough.
I want to get out and stay out.
I'm dying in here while
It's not much of a world.
I'm not inclined to be
particular about it.
It's beautiful.
As you remember it.
The little part of the world that's
around you. Your childhood, your music.
And your faith in God.
But it is not like that.
Anyhow, wherever a man is
he has to live for something.
What is it you want to live for?
Your music?
If I can't find peace of soul
in this house, just as it is ..
of finding it in a piano?
You won't find much
peace outside, either.
The fact is, John.
It's a very difficult world.
It's ailing in every
joint and it has fever.
And it stinks like an
old-time sick-room.
Then, that's where we ought to be instead
of locked up here doing nothing about it.
Tom .. if we manage to do
anything at all, it will be from here.
Well, Marc .. as a lawyer, you must
have known the world pretty well.
Well, I was involved in
So, you had an excellent reason for
coming here. For you it was an escape.
You wouldn't rebel.
No .. well, I think Father Rector
has certain memories about me.
Are you happy here now?
Come on, let's be very honest about it.
I can be very honest.
